From the sound of your day job, you don't work seriously with computers
there. At least, not programming. I don't know if a sys admin type gets much
out of multiple monitors, but I wouldn't be surprised, given that most sys
admin types I know have 300+ windows open at any given time, without
exageration.

No. Do you set reference books or note pads on your desk just to keep it
from looking tidy?

Never counted. I was lucky if I could track down which version of any given
file was compiling, let alone *all* of them.

I don't know that it was ever the *main* web server.
